I have an issue when using the TextFragmentAbsorber.
First let me describe the bigger picture.
I have an HTML view.
I generate a PDF file from it using HTML to Pdf conversion.
I temporarily save the file before returning it to the client.
Then I am trying to insert a form input on a certain location in the PDF file.
That location can be found by searching for "[textinput]" in the PDF.
To do that, I use the following code:
Document document = new Document(pdfFilePath);
//the file path is correct and the Document is initialised succesfully
TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber("[textinput]");
//here I get an error - "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
document.Pages.Accept(textFragmentAbsorber);
So what am I doing wrong? Please help me if you know a fix.
I forgot to specify: The PDF file HAS content. So it's not empty. The algorythm just crashes.
I made it work on a dummy test pdf file.
I will look again maybe it's my fault in dealing with the PDF file.
I still get the error on a sepcific pdf file. I thought it shouldn't care about the content.
I attached the file. I tested it and it crashes at the line of code I specified.
